Carry a knife…

Because sometimes you need to chop your ice pack out of the hotel freezer…

Louisville was pretty socked in

I was passing through on my recent trip to Nashville. 

Johnny saying hi

He was creepin' on me while he took out their garbage and headed off to work for the day. Fun. 

Full house at the Cyclones!

12,000 energetic little kids and six seven… 🤪

Take a moment to honor those that have fought for your freedoms

Lots of energy and a full house on school field trip day!

 We enjoyed the Cincinnati Cyclones hockey game with 12,000 other adoring middle schoolers!

The rest of the bouquet

…just so you don't think  cheeped out on I love you day. 

It's fun to see that the boys are carrying on my tradition to some extent. Johnny usually does something nice for Savannah in celebration.

Celebrating I love you, Day!

Besides a museum, dinner, and a concert. I got Julie some flowers also. One of them got decapitated during the trip home, so she "arranged" this one in a small base. It was still very pretty.

I kind of chuckled when they announced the Apple wallet

I figured it wouldn't be anything significant for quite some time. Fast forward, and now it holds everything. IDs, credit cards, tickets, orders, and rewards cards. I very rarely go to my physical wallet these days. It will be interesting if/

when I can go through airport check-in without physical ID…

Sun was shining on my coffee box…

But Zoe still snuggles❣️

But I’m getting a lot of attention from the Bassett!

Chloe's really warmed up to me these days.  She's starting the whole sitting next to me waiting for the next adventure thing too. :)

As silly as the whole badge thing is…

I do like the ones that I've accumulated. Julie and the kids got me some, I won some, and I just got this new Jurassic World one from a friend.  That's fun!  My beagle edition badge gets a lot of attention and comments ❤️

Cool picture of our new gathering area at church

The sunset colors helped!

I realized I could get digital badges for some Jeep rides

So I grabbed this one and will probably grab a few more on some of the harder badge trails we hit.  This one is from the Stanton, KY area which is where I blew up my engine in my first Jeep.  It's nice to have a few redemption rides under my belt these days!

Logo “burn”

At the very end, they used a combo of this screen and laser lights to make it look like they engraved, burned, welded and hung this sign there, but it was all virtual.  A really cool visual effect.

Quite the grand finale!

Trans Siberian Orchestra pulled out all the stops for the end of their show!

Drone light show

It was cool to see an indoor drone show!

TSO didn't dissappoint when they launched a bunch of drones to add to their light show.  It was fun to watch the drones all go back to their little docking stations automatically too.
